J. Cole

Just days before the release of his third album 2014 Forest Hills Drive, J. Cole takes a journey in the video for “Intro.” With a backpack and a smile on his face, the Fayetteville rapper rides his bike through the streets of New York at night, passing by Times Square and stopping to look in the window of the BMW dealership.

“Do you wanna be happy?” he asks in the two-minute clip.

Cole returns to his roots on the album, which he unexpectedly announced earlier this month.

Watch him cruise through NYC.
